Without it python C++ checks fail, as does lots of other C++ stuff.
i dont make changes without any real details i havent had problems with gcc-3.4 in my uClibc envs, nor have i seen reports about any
This is a report of one :/. The C++ checks for python fail, that's the report. Once I re-enabled --enable-sjlj-exceptions in toolchain.eclass locally, it no longer failed. Are you sure you don't have nocxx, I'm sure that would make the check not fail for you.
I think I see the same thing here. alpine-experimental:~ # emerge --info Portage 2.0.53 (uclibc/x86/hardened, gcc-3.4.4, uclibc-0.9.28-r0, 2.6.8-2-686-smp i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.8-2-686-smp i686 Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.40GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0_pre11 distcc 2.18.3 i386-gentoo-linux-uclibc (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.4 [disabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4-r1, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i386-gentoo-linux-uclibc" CFLAGS="-march=i386 -Os -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i386-gentoo-linux-uclibc" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-Os -pipe" DISTDIR="/var/cache/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig buildpkg distlocks nodoc noinfo noman sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/var/cache/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X509 berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdr cracklib curl expat gd gmp hardened jpeg mad mhash minimal ncurses ogg pci pcmcia pcre pic png readline rrdtool snmp sqlite ssl tdb truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts uclibc udev usb vorbis winbind xml2 zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_uclibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS

hmm, just saw this one pop by from spanky changing the summary. This also affects courier (mail server) in a rather strange way. Everything seems to work, but maildrop gets SIGABRT's if there is a maildroprc file being used. Very annoying, and took me quite some time to figure it out. So.... me too.
does 3.4.5 work for you ?
3.4.5+ is stable now
